We could fairly posit that the evolutionary origin of the
eukaryotic cell was «the first time that what went around came around», a quid pro quo with
among primitive organisms in deep time.

eukaryotic organelles may have also evolved through endosymbiosis; it has been proposed that cilia, flagella, centrioles, and microtubules may have originated from a symbiosis between a Spirochaete bacterium and an early
eukaryotic cell, but this is not yet broadly accepted
among biologists.
The hypothesized process by which prokaryotes gave rise to the first
eukaryotic cells is known as endosymbiosis, and certainly ranks
among the most important evolutionary events.
